Ascent Trip ReportToday was a big day.... i wanted to take on 3 four thousand footers. was i successful? yes! i went up the kinsman's ridge trail to the top followed that to the junction between the kinsman's and cannon. then proceeded to the kinsman's to the south peak then back tracked to the north peak and i trucked down the fisher trail. this was a very difficult hike it took all of about 7 maybe 7 1/2 hours. i would not advise going up the kinsman ridge but i would recommend the fishin jimmy trail. going up from the bottom of cannon in a very hard trail. much harder than the fishin jimmy trail. i would not recommend and of these three peaks for in experienced hikers but to mid/advanced hikers. but this was a challenge and the tops have beautiful view and the trail are very maintained and easy to follow. one more ounce of advice i have it not to travel up the back side of cannon from the fishin jimmy that last .8 is brute!!!! highly wouldn't recommend that.
